Las Caldas Golf

Las Caldas Golf is in the municipality of Oviedo, Asturias, with an 18-hole course set in natural woodland. For a golfer planning a visit, its defining feature is the contrast within the layout: part of the round follows a low valley beside the River Gafo, while other fairways occupy higher ground. The two areas call for different strategies.

The course is called Campo Municipal de Golf Las Caldas. Designed by D. Manuel Piñeiro and opened in 2000, it plays to par 71. Native trees and abundant wildlife are part of the setting, giving the woodland a clear role in the experience of playing here.

Woodland, valley and higher ground

Rather than keeping to a single type of terrain, the layout combines the lower riverside area with elevated fairways. That distinction is worth keeping in mind when approaching the round: the same strategy does not apply throughout, and the change between the two sections is a central part of the course's character.

For visitors choosing a course in Asturias, Las Caldas brings together golf and a natural wooded setting within the municipality of Oviedo. The River Gafo, the valley and the higher section are the main landscape features to know about before playing.

Four tee distances

There are four sets of tees, with the following total lengths:

• White: 5,678 metres.
• Yellow: 5,248 metres.
• Blue: 4,755 metres.
• Red: 4,516 metres.

These provide different distances for the same 18-hole, par-71 layout. When considering a tee, the overall length is one part of the picture; the contrasting demands of the valley and higher fairways are another feature of the round to bear in mind.

Practice, tuition and hire

The club has a practice area, a golf school and golf lessons, so a visit can include time spent learning or practising as well as a round on the course. The teaching and practice facilities are part of the club's offering alongside the municipal layout.

Club hire and buggy hire are also available. For travelling golfers, these are useful services to factor into plans for a visit to Las Caldas. The club also offers event services, extending its activities beyond play and tuition. Together, the course, practice area, teaching and hire options make up the golf facilities here in Oviedo.
